To analyze the economic significance of pricing errors of stock index options, a system of linear inequalities is … developed which completely characterizes all risk arbitrage opportunities which arise if a well-behaved pricing kernel does not … exist. The Stochastic Arbitrage system can account for market imperfections in the form of transactions costs and general …

We analyze the joint cross-section of monthly S&P500 stock index options and monthly CBOE Volatility Index options by …

Measuring the performance of stock portfolios that include options is challenging due to options' nonlinearity in the … option factor, i.e., a portfolio of standard options exposed to volatility risk. We show that (i) any option factor is …

We present a model of firm investment under uncertainty and partial irreversibility in which uncertainty is represented by a jump diffusion. This allows to represent both the continuous Gaussian volatility and the discontinuous uncertainty related to information arrival, sudden changes and large...

We consider fundamental questions of arbitrage pricing arising when the uncertainty model incorporates volatility … uncertainty. With a standard probabilistic model, essential equivalence between the absence of arbitrage and the existence of an … martingale measure sets, in a dynamic trading framework under absence of prior depending arbitrage. We prove the existence of …

We propose an equilibrium framework within which to price financial securities written on non- tradable underlyings such as temperature indices. We analyze a financial market with a finite set of agents whose preferences are described by a convex dynamic risk measure generated by the solution of...

We provide results on the existence and uniqueness of equilibrium in dynamically incomplete financial markets in discrete time. Our framework allows for heterogeneous agents, unspanned random endowments and convex trading constraints. In the special case where all agents have preferences of the...

We extend and generalize some results on bounding security prices under several stochastic volatility models that provide closed-form expressions for option prices. In detail, we have computed analytical expressions for benchmark and standard good-deal bounds. For all the models, our findings...

We model the super-replication of payoffs linked to a country's GDP as a stochastic linear program on a discrete time and state-space scenario tree to price GDP-linked bonds. As a by-product of the model we obtain a hedging portfolio. Using linear programming duality we compute also the risk...
